Patent GB-191202920-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rotary Pumps and similar Rotary Machines.
IPC: F01C21/08
Filed: 1912-02-05
Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 2920. Internationale Rotations-Maschinen Ges. Feb. 9, 1911, [Convention date]. Fixed-abutment type with pistons having outwardly-sliding vanes. Annular working chambers b, Fig. 2, are formed in the ends of a piston drum a. Fixed abutments c are situated in the grooves b. Outwardly-sliding vanes d, Figs. 2 and 3, are provided with notches e which register with the abutments when passing them. The radial movement of the vanes is effected by eccentric cam - grooves in freely revoluble rings g. Segmental blocks i situated in the cam-grooves engage pivots k on the vanes. The free movement of the ring g obviates excessive wear of the guide-pieces i. In a modification, the radial movement of the vanes is effected as follows. A stationary crank-pin q, Fig. 5, is connected to an axle r, also stationary, and a cam-groove ring g is rotatably mounted on the crank - pin; the guide-blocks i are centrally situated in this case. It will be noted in both cases that, although the cam-groove ring is free to revolve with the vanes, the situation of the cam-groove as a whole is unchanged. In a modification, two abutments c, Fig. 4, are arranged in each working chamber b. The outer portion of the vane comprises the effective vane surface in the upper working chamber, and the inner portion acts similarly in the lower working chamber. Balancing moving parts; discharge and suction passages for pumps.-According as a vane is moving inwards or outwards, so the pressure caused by the friction of the fluid is transmitted to the outer or inner wall of the cam-groove. In addition, the centrifugal action of the vanes tends to transmit pressure to the outer wall of the cam-groove, but as this is less than the pressure caused by moving the vanes radially, it follows that at the points on the line of centres of the drum and cam-groove, the pressure on the cam-groove is suddenly reversed from inside to outside, or vice versa. This reversal of pressure during the working stroke is prevented by making the inlet and discharge ports l, l<1>, Fig. 3, unequal in length so that the effective working space is placed entirely within the first half of a revolution starting from the abutment. Packing drums. - To prevent leakage fluid from escaping along the shaft and thereby driving out the lubricant, an annular groove n, Fig. 2, and radial bores o are provided in the drum. Leakage fluid is accordingly thrown into the peripheral clearance space p by centrifugal action, whence it is led to the suction chamber in pumps or exhaust port in engines.

Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 9876. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Lydall, F. April 25. Systems for continuous-current motors only. -The value of the motor current which actuates a limit switch to prevent further changes in the control connexions is varied in a fashion dependent on the change in the active windings of the motor field coils. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the limit switch LS has a coil W carrying the motor current, and another coil w with tappings connected to contacts c<1>, c<2>, c<3> on the field-controlling contactors K<1>, K<2>, K<3>. As the contactors close, the contacts c<1>, c<2>, c<3> short-circuit part of the winding w, so that the current value in the coil W must be increased to operate the limit switch. In systems where there is a seriesparallel control of the motors, the auxiliary contacts c<1>, c<2>, c<3> may each be connected in series with a contact on the series contactor, so that the variation of the current to operate the limit switch may be restricted to the time during which the motors are in series. The number of tappings from the coil w may be reduced; or the closing of any contactor may short-circuit the whole of the coil.
